After discussing Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20 ( a passage rich in instruction for pastoral ministry), one of my students produced this want ad:

Verily, truly, amen, so let it be.
I like it! And yes, let it be.
These are good posts (the last two in particular). We have allowed the world's definition of success to cause us to depart from the biblical calling of pastoral ministry.
Thanks for these wonderful thoughts.
We have felt like we've lived out this description a little this week!
This is really good
it would be good to generate a wanted ad for DISCIPLES.
